After the Storm.

Otto Gasal returned from his ranch
southwest from this city this morning.
having been out in all of the storm of
night before last. He had been haying
in the hills before the storm, and had 80
tons of hay on the ground in fine condi-
ton. Two hours after the rain there
were two feet of water over the hay in the
slough. Hail stones were thick on the
ground when he went to look at the hay
meadow. The roar Of the hail and rain
sounded like a tornado at work. The
lightning played thick and fast around
his buggy. His horses were lifted from
their feet and knocked to the ground by
one bolt that struck near them, after
which he could not manage them for
about half mile, when he ran up to
school house and remained there for a
few minutes for the storm to break.
The hail came to within few rods OF
his oats, but did not damage them. Five
miles west they had neither rain nor hail,
at his creamery. Around the Canadian
settlement crops were probably damaged
pretty badly.
Deputy Sheriff, Tom Bowditch drove
twenty-five miles through the storm from
IL to o'clock Tuesday night. He says
1t was the worst storm he ever saw in
Dakota. The lightning was whiz -whiz
all the time, all around him, and it ap-
peared as though it struck about a rod
from him at every flash. It would not
be surprising if more casualties are re-
ported. The hail in the Sharlow neigh
borhood Tuesday night was very destruc.
l,tive. The Messrs. Sharlow lost nearly
all the grain they had. w. w. Wiley lost
field insured with the Mutual OF the
county. L. B. Durstine lost about 10(
acres. Others were more or less damaged

The inquiries for houses to rent and
furniture for sale that have occurred at
this Office during the past week, indicate
revival of times already. Parties living
in the country are arranging for the usual
removal in the fall to jamestown for the
winter months. 1t is likely to prove true
that few good houses can be had month
or so later.
One of the most noticeable effects of the
recent heavy rains is found in the exam
ilation of the depth of water in the wells
around town. Wells that few weeks ago
were nearly dry are now half filled with
water. II the rainfall Of the last six
weeks had been measured, the amount
would surprise the people. The water
has penetrated the ground and wet down
to depth of several feet.

Carnival Of Lightning.
Courier.

About 7:3O last Thursday evening dur
ing heavy thunder storm, the Coopers-
town depot was struck by lightning and
badly used up. The bolt struck the CHM
ney scattering it in all directions, then
passed down through the floor and re-
coiled, tearing up the floor, desks, stove
and tables and scattering them around
in every conceivable shape. A piece OF
flooring was carried up to the ceiling and
wedged in, by the electric fluid. The tel
egraph wires were cut, but strange to say
The instruments and table were left un-
harmed. The windows and gable of the
building were badly damaged. Agent
Cowen had stepped into the baggage
room; had lie been at his desk he would
undoubtedly have been killed. The pas
sengers who had left the train, were stand
ING outside the depot, and were unin-
jured.
Several were standing on the dray
which was standing by the platform. One
dray horse was Knocked, down by the
shock as was also gentleman standing
on the dray. Mrs. Ferrier, a nurse from
jamestown, stood on the platform and
received shock in the neck which for a
time was very painful
Rev. O. D. Purinton's hired girl was
standing at the back door of his residence
with dipper in her hand, and the shock
took that out OF her hand and sent it ty-
ing up the garden, leaving her arm some
what benumbed.
A second vivid flash of lightning sent a
shock through Joe McCulloch, who was
standing at the barn door, and knocked
him down, but did no more damage than
giving him stiff neck.
Annie Arneson, employed by +. b.
Leavitt, while working in the kitchen,
was stunned and dark stripes left on her
feet. The electric bolt perambulated in
through the open door, and around the
floor, doing no damage except as stated.
At the same time the engine wiper at the
round house was stricken down and left
unconscious for an hour.

THEY ARE NOT so IGNORANT.

Those who put down the native
IIawaiians as an ignorant people are
little out in their calculations.
The Hawaiians, as people, COM
pare to their advantage, in the mat
ter of common school education. with
many larger nations which have
been much longer in the line of civil
ization, and some of them great ma
tons, too. All Hawaiians, except
few very old folks, canread and write
their own language. There are not
many nations on the globe of which
this can be said. 1t is true, they
know but little experimentally of
real civilized life. 1t is also true
that their method of thought and
reasoning is somewhat peculiar, per-
haps childish, from the standpoint
of the white man. But they are
not ignorant and uniformed. Such
literature as is available in their own
language is eagerly devoured by
them, and they are surprisingly
we'll informed upon such matters
as come within its limited range.
Moreover, they are mach sounder
in their political views than the
foreigner is generally willing to
admit, and left to their own I'M
trammelled decision they will not go
far wrong. But the trouble is, that
their impressionable nature is too
often taken advantage of by I'M
principled and insinuating politi-
clans both of their own race and of
the white foreign race.

The REPRESENTATIVES WE NEED.

This city and country are too
small for class representation in the
Legislature. 1t is, in our humble
opinion, an extremely foolish thing
to talk of putting up candidates as
representatives of particular inter-
ests. That sort of thing is entirely
out of place in a little one-horse
kingdom like this. Hawaii is not
the United States, and neither is
Honolulu the city of London. What
may be undeniably good in that
great country o-in that ponderous
city, may be decidedly bad in this
small country and in this diminutive
city. The representatives that we
need are men to represent all classes
and interests, and pledged to work
for the gene.al good. Great states
men we cannot have, because that is
a native industry which the country
has neglected, and really we do not
require them. Professional politi-
clans we should shun as an unwhole.
some element. They are curse to
any country that has them. We
simply want common-sense, practi-
cal, honest, and liberal minded men,
with knowledge of the country,
its people and its needs, and pos
sessing patriotic interest in the
country and its people. Their color,
their creed, and their nationality
matter nothing. The men possess
ing the qualifications indicated, and
seeking election on the broad basis
of "the general good" are the men
for whom the people should vote.

INS0LENCE.

We have received an Impairment
and lnsolent letter, through post,
from one who signs himself "Fifth
Ward" lie can neither write nor
spell, and knows less Of civil Ian
guage than pig does of polemics.
If he is dissatisfied with our paper,
he can drop it. There is no Act Of
the Legislature to compel him to
read il, any more than to prevent
his making fool of himself. lie
may do either or both, according to
inclination; il is purely II matter of
taste. We shall not go in mourning
for his loss, nor shut up shop on ac-
count of the withdrawal of his
patronage.
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1887-08-06

And we do not for moment believe
that the solid and thoughtful ele-
ments of this community are favor
able to anything Of the kind. We
take il that the machine subverts a
mans independence, and compels
his support to n man or men whom
he may or may not in his own judg-
ment endorse. Whatever profess
sional politicians may think of this
little arrangement, it is not in ac-
cordance with our notion Of the pro-
per stand for the 'free and indie
pendent elector." In the Constitu-
ton adopted by some of the Ward
Clubs we find the following:-
Gan members of the Club shall
be pledged TO abide by and support
the rules, resolutions and nominees,
tirst, or their own CluD; secondly,
of the General or Central Commit
tee, directorate, or convention of all
the clubs duly and regularly assem-
bled under this or their Constitution
or Constitutions. )"
This may be all right from club
standpoint, but it will be pretty
hard TO club it into the skulls of
many electors. A pledge before
hand to support an unknown nomi-
nee, is dose rather too big to
swallow. Cautious men will never
be guilty of buying pig in a bag.
Let us first know who the nominees
are, and then we shall be in a posi-
ton to judge whether we can give
them our support or not.

THE DANDY AND HIS HULA
GIRLS.

The Hawaiian Dandy and his
hula girls went to windward on the
steamer W. G.. Hall, yesterday.
For what purpose, we are not in
formed. Possibly for sea trip, or
a change of air, or to see the
natural beauties of the other
islands, or merely for an underlined
sort of vacation. They had right
to 90. Who would wish to restrict
their liberty to travel? But per-
haps they are gone on a profess
sional tour-on a hula exhibiting
expedition. This is quite different
matter. The hula is an indecent,
demoralizing thing. Decent people
cannot countenance ii. If public
sentiment is not strong enough TO
extirpate it, perhaps it might be
well to legislate against it. Obscene
pictures and obscene literature are
prohibited by law in all countries
having due regard for the propre-
ties of life. There is no more OBJ
scene picture than a lewd hula.
1t should be stopped. The Dandy
should be prohibited from taking
around his hula girls and giving
public exhibitions. To allow it, is
a disgrace to the country, stand
ing shame to our social system, a
cutting rebuke to our civilization.
We trust that those members of the
Royal Family who have recently
had the advantage of glimpse at
civilized life across the waters, will
feel it their duty to denounce and
discountenance the heathenish hula
in every possible way.
